Instructions

Step 1

1. Cook the onion: Add the olive oil to a large Dutch oven or pot and heat over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook about 5 minutes. Add garlic right before the next step, and give it a good stir.

Step 2

2. Cook the chicken: To the same skillet add the chicken and cook until no longer pink. Add the spices you want, then stir and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 3

3. Cook the pasta: Stir in the chicken broth, milk and pasta. Cook for about 20 minutes or until the pasta is cooked through. It’s nice to give it a stir once in a while during the cooking but not absolutely necessary. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 4

4. Finish: Stir in the Parmesan cheese and parsley, serve while warm.
